      The weather forecast is looking good for next Tuesday – for the time being.

      It would be nice to get out into the countryside again, so I propose a trip to Keydell Nurseries in Horndean.

      We can go out via Rowlands Castle and Blendworth. To make a loop we can return via Park Lane and the Heritage Stream. That involves some rough stuff which is not best suited to skinny tyres, the alternative to return via Rowlands Castle (avoiding the hill we descended on the way to Keydell).

      If you’d prefer to take the alternate route, please let us know via response to this forum and say whether you’d need help with navigation.

      Count me in please.

      Not sure whether I will come on the mountain bike to then go the rougher route back or use the road bike and go back via Rowlands. Not sure where the route back to Rowlands goes so will investigate. David

        This is my planned route.

        The rough stuff is between Grassmere Way and Calshot Road.

        To avoid it, you could retrace our route through Rowlands Castle but I’d not go up Blendworth Lane. I’d use Rowlands Castle Road instead.

        You might be tempted to use the B2149 as it’s a more direct route, but it’s a horrible road which I would avoid.

      Can’t make it, I’m afraid.

      Have a great ride.
